As we navigate another election cycle, New Memphis is convening conversations with experts to help debunk common voting myths and empower everyone to make their voice heard in the ballot. In this "Ballot Basics" conversation, we ask the dumb questions (like what is the difference in the City Mayor and the County Mayor?), so you don't have to.

Ian Randolph of Shelby County Voter Alliance (SCVA) is in the studio to break it all down for us.
